Absolutely. The plan all along was to "balance" Israel with a "progressive" country like Iran.

You do realize that our nominal president is senile? Did you watch the debate?

Netanyahu has no such excuse. Sometimes his passivity infuriates me - but then I remember what he's up against.

that is why I usually write "Biden-Blinken" - but he is still President.

I don't know exactly if Netanyahu supports or doesn't support the defeatism - but, he is still Prime Minister ....

I totally agree -

I want to scream at him, Bibi dammit, do or die!

But the fact is that he *is* under many abnormal constraints arising from Israel's dependence on the US.

Perhaps he's waiting for the election.

I'm not a military expert so I don't know what the physical conditions will be like in Lebanon in November... does it rain? Is it cold? You know more about this than I do.

I hate the fact that Israel must time its legitimate responses to the American political situation, but... it is what it is.
